Local MQTT data format
I just switched from a GlowStick to a Display CAD, because I wanted a local MQTT (among other reasons). I'm very surprised that the data format for the local MQTT is different from the one I used to get from the remote MQTT. I prefer the Zigbee-frame format very much and if there's any way, I'd like to get that back. (My house runs on Zigbee and the in-CAD data conversion will forever have bugs and inconsistencies that I can easily fix on my end, but I can't fix the CAD.)
Is there a way to change the format? Maybe offer different MQTT topics? Add it as an option to the MQTT settings?

You can chose JSON or nothing.
@dougie both formats are JSON-encoded. The remote MQTT one contains a mapping of Zigbee cluster/attributes to values. The local MQTT contains a conversion of the data into a Tasmota-friendly data structure.
